Orange and Aperol granita with prosecco splash
Break the ice with this refreshingly fruity and fizzy Italian-inspired cocktail.
Ingredients
125ml freshly squeezed orange juice
1⁄4 cup caster sugar
125ml Aperol
750ml prosecco, chilled
Method
-
Put juice and sugar in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Cook, stirring, until sugar has dissolved. Set aside to
cool to room temperature.
-
Stir in Aperol and 375ml water. Pour into a 20cm square tin or plastic container. Freeze for 1 hour or until ice crystals begin to form at edges. Using a fork, break up ice crystals and return to freezer for a further 1 hour. Repeat until all liquid has turned to ice crystals. Using fork, scrape again, creating a crumbly mixture. Transfer to
an airtight container. This will keep in freezer for 1 month. -
On the day:
Use fork to scrape into fine crystals. Spoon into chilled martini glasses and add a splash of prosecco. Serve, adding remaining prosecco, as desired.
